The Text Tools component lets you create multiple context menu commands copying information about the selected tracks using different title-formatting patterns. Additionally, the "advanced" dialog lets you produce a report with grouping and group headers/footers, for eg. exporting a list of your albums with full track lists.

Provides various general purpose commands:- Edit inactive playlists- Sort by multiple fields- Protect playlists against editing- Cycle through playback orders- Format text from track information and copy to clipboard or save to file- Open foobar2000 profile and component directories in Explorer

Some of these features don't work anymore, so I guess that's why we now get a new text tools component.

Group header/footer item explanationGroup footer pattern is not the same as foo_utils's footer text, so a %total_length% title formatting item would be pointless here. Instead think of it as a footer to a block of text for each item.

Take this example where the field of the Text Tools Advanced dialog is filled in like this:

The name and functionality clash with the text tools function from foo_utils is unfortunate and probably confusing; I have talked about this with Peter before he released foo_texttools. Since foo_texttools has support for presets and grouping, which foo_utils does not have, I am going to remove my text tools implementation from foo_utils in a future version. As far as I know, the remaining functionality that is only present in foo_utils - saving the formatted text directly using a menu command, larger scripts (or at least larger edit boxes) - is usually used to generate entire (HTML) documents. I plan to support that use case with a new component.

I think I found a bug : if you assign a keyboard shortcut to a copy command, and then change the pattern of this command, the keyboard shortcut is broken (it says "Action Not Found (*lots of number and letters*)").

I have also a request : is it possible to have a multi-line editing field for the patterns ? I have some -very- long copy commands and it's not easy to modify them with one single line.

Using previous version foo_utils with Copy Name function, I can do it by two steps only: Utils -> Copy Name.Now using the new Text Tools component, I have to do it by three steps: Utils -> Text Tools -> Copy.Is it possible to make it more simple? Thanks.
